Summary: Warcraft III freezes with a black screen on startup Product: Wine Version: 0.9.56. Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: ningo@gmx.net
Note: This is _NOT_ related to #6618. The freeze happens *after* the intro ends by e.g. hitting the mouse key.
Without renaming the movies folder, the following error shows up:
This application has encountered a critical error: FATAL ERROR! Program: C:\Program Files\Warcraft III\war3.exe Exception: 0xC0000005 (ACCESS_VIOLATION) at 0073:7EF91B95 The instruction at '0x7EF91B95' referenced memory at '0x00000015'. The memory could not be 'read'."
With the movie folder renamed the Warcraft III just freezes with a black screen.
Frankly, it's just a matter of timing: If you wait ~5 Seconds before skipping the intro Warcraft III freezes, if you skip the intro immediately the error message pops up.
Also, see the comments by 'Clement' on the AppDB Page. Note: Downgrading to 0.9.45 didn't solve my problem.
